Self-hosted internet computer, a desktop environment in your browser

Puter is a self-hosted web desktop: a desktop, file manager, text editor and app store in the browser, with cloud storage for your files, an app and website hosting platform, and the Puter.js API for building apps on top of it.

This snap runs the self-hosted server with upstream's built-in storage: an SQLite database and local file storage, with no other services to install.

Getting started

The service starts right after installation and listens on 127.0.0.1:4100 (this machine only). Open http://puter.localhost:4100 and sign in as admin. The generated password is printed in the service log until you change it:

sudo snap logs puter -n=all | grep "password for admin"

Settings

sudo snap set puter port=4100 host=127.0.0.1
sudo snap set puter domain=puter.example.com
sudo snap set puter protocol=https pub-port=443

Puter routes by subdomain (api.<domain>, site.<domain>, app.<domain>), so a domain other than puter.localhost needs wildcard DNS. Other upstream settings go in /var/snap/puter/common/config.json.
